The Topic of Great Randomness

This is just for those who don't yet know. I'm not sure who all you are, as I can no longer get onto chat, due to my little brother being an idiot. Oh well. My point here is not to express my vexation with my foolish younger sibling, but to share some sad news.
Dee is grounded. For a long, long time.

I'm talking months here. No more me, no more L, no more K, no more poetry slams, no more chat. The only person she's allowed to contact, strangely enough, is her Seanybear. Sean, I'm *******' jealous. Lucky twerp. Anywho, that basically translates to "if she can sneak on here to share the love, she will."
Will write more later.

Bah-HA! I love macs. I absolutely ADORE them. Macs. Macs are my favorite things in the whole wide world. I love my mac, he is so wonderful. I named him Winston. I love him. My best friend in the whole wide world. You know why I love Macs so much?

Because my dad cannot understand them!!

Okay, so, I was being all depressed because Daddy dearest was putting on website controls and stuff... Daddy dearest has no idea how to work Macs! So he's all calling school tech support to ask how their website blockers work and I'm sitting here giggling because he's very frustrated with it now and he's mostly forgotten so I think I'll have at least a couple more days of freedom. Maybe they'll realize how silly this all is in that time and loosen up. Keep your fingers crossed, Kinseylove! I can at least still talk through e-mail and stuff and possibly here.

Oh, and they're taking me to see a counselor in about a week... I'm hoping she'll tell them that kids generally get depressed, not motivated, when you take them away from all human contact for months on end. I can at least hope.

Anyways, things are looking slightly up. And now I'm going to get back to work so I can knock their socks off with "Wow, maybe she isn't a slacker!"

Pfah.

[Sean L.]

Hmmm,

I'm glad that I come in second place to a computer.

:P I still dunno why your parents think you're a slacker...if what they said is true, and you can write up emails and dummy files, then I feel like you wouldn't qualify for a slacker under any sense of the term.

I'm still a bit...I dunno. Confused, perhaps. Happy and yet a bit skeptical at the same time. I guess we'll see.

I've decided that you're to be subjected to another one of my rants. My honors english class never fails to astonish me...We're doing projects in groups, where we read two chapters of Shakespear Alive and do a presentation...my group decided on a play. We're pretty far ahead, since i finished first, and wrote the play the same day. and we asigned parts even before that, since i had figured out the basic story line before the class even started...This was our third meeting i think. as a result, we're learning our props while everyone else is still going on about what they should do, or how they're going to do it...apparently, at least a couple groups envy ours...w0ll, at least my friend in the class, who shall remain nameless, does. which makes sense, since our narriater wasn't there, and i did her part...I wrote the thing, so it's obviously keyed to what i can do, and while others can do it easily, it's something i'm going to do very well. at least one other group just sat there and watched, and laughed, and enjoyed it as i walked the group through it and did a basic thing for them...narriator has half the lines, so we'll probably split it up. but that's not what astonishes me...what astonishes me is that my friend told me that his group just sat there for a few minutes...admiring me. Just...admiring me. They still have NO idea what they're doing...but they're sitting there. admiring me. It just seems so stupid...I mean, i admit, i like ahving the entire school like me. I like having english classmates talk about how good i am at english.,..but there are times where i just want to bang my head against the desk and scream...Oh well. rant done. thanks for listening...and i guess it isn't that bad afterall. i have a habit of taking pride in stuff like this at first, then in an attempt to deflate my ego, ranting to myself about some of the negitives...

gryphon said:

i've got a hidden one in my jumpdrive...I think that's what it's called. I haven't written in it much recently. I keep on forgetting too.

[Mel]

Mista YR:
i have a habit of taking pride in stuff like this at first, then in an attempt to deflate my ego, ranting to myself about some of the negitives...

I think I understand. Just when I deflate my ego, someone comes along and tells me that I'm smart, and then I go, "No, I'm not." and then someone says they're stupid, and I say, " I think it's stupid that you think you're stupid." And then someone else calls me smart, and I wave them off and they persist. Human beings are weird with flattery. Don't they see that sometimes, just sometime you need to be grounded and DON'T want it? *sighs*

*rereads post* Wow, that comes off as really conceited, doesn't it?

Firstly, this a random question, but how old are you Dee? I'm trying to figure out..hmm...

Olivia:
...it doesn't feel like October to me.

It doesn't, does it? For me, last year about this time, it was something like 50 degrees and there were a bajillion parties already. Now? It was something like 70 and there has been one halloween party. Not that they matter, but I've begun using them to measure. At least the trees are changing, it's beautiful. I found the most beautiful leaf in the world, it was red and gold all over and soooo pretty.

Hungry:
He ate 11 pancakes, the girl who's beaten him before ate 8, and I ate 9.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard of you eating too much. ^^ Then again, I have a strange new respect for you. Sort of like my rugby-playing english teacher, but less violent, naturally.

Angel: Beautifuuuullll beaut boots. Excellent. Now I want a pair, but I don't think they'd go exactly with my outfits....XD bUt then again, I have my own version of those...*wishes she had a digital camera*

peri:
sometimes while online I mean to sound wry or sarcastic, but end up sounding completely mean. It's like *woopsies...* That's definently caused just a few arguments.XD See how the internet benefits our young lives so much?

I think almost all of us here has had a run in like this. *see above, heh*

Hungry (again):
Yes, I'm afraid of butterflies. Don't laugh *laughs at self* They're just big, and the blue ones always flew in my face...I have issues I guess. Butterflies are not even scary in the least.

Actually, two of my friends have the same odd fear. And that of dragonflies. So, it isn't so uncommon at all, though maybe a little strange. But we're all a little strange. So'ts ok. That's a theory I had. Everyone is a little "weird", and yet there are those who do not like those "weird" people. Which doesn't make sense. If we all have little quirks, then wouldn't the "normal" ones actually be the "weird" ones?

Hungry (not surprisingly this time):
Cinnamon ice cream is good

^^ I've never even heard of cinnamon ice cream. *starts singing a certain song by OK Go* However, there is that unfortunate candycane ice cream which should NOT be allowed on the market for serious danger to your health.

Oh, and poor, poooor Dee. I think this is one time that I will allow myself to love macs. But this is an exception (as is Dairine, my iPod)...(imaginative, I know) Good luck with the parents. Mine are begining to crack down on me, but only like asking, "Do you have a MySpace??!" and I go, honestly, "No." But they don't (as far as I know) really know that I'm on this. I think. I'm not sure. Parents are tricky...just when you think you know them well enough, you learn someting mind-blowing...

But anyway, sooner or later your parents will find out that you can be trusted, but first, of course, you have to show them that. If you can read this right now, that it. Huh, I didn't think of that..


Kids today on the bus were monstrous. There are a few trouble-makers in the ...6th grade, I believe, and today I had piano, so I unfortunately had to go on the faster bus, which happened to be the same bus they were on. Clear?

So, they decided that today they would all scream at the top of their lungs the most annoying songs they could think of over and over. And they can "sing" pretty darn lound. Notice I use the word sing lightly.
So it was more like yelling words at the top of your lungs. A whole bus, practically. So I tried to drown them out with my iPod, but 100 decibals couldn't do it. So I still have a major headache.

And yesterday my contact ripped in two after killing me all day, and then I spilled a huge amount of shampoo into my eye. It still hurts...

But enough of my whining. A lot of good has been happening to me lately. Such as the show Lost which is on...in two minutes, so I gotta cut it short.

The moral of this post: (huhn? since when do my posts have morals??!!!) ahem, I'll type it again, the moral of my post: hang in there guys! It can only get better from here!!

[Dee]

No Sean, you do not come in second place to a computer. I'm sorry for getting my priorities mixed up. *boots Winston down a couple notches on the list of People I Loves*

And Mel, I am 15 years old at the moment.

It definitely doesn't feel like October. More like late November. It snowed a little today. Itty bitty flurries that didn't stay, but it was still snow.

I look like a lumberjack right now. I was cold because dad hasn't gotten around to bulding a fire lately, so I stole his flannel shirt. It's this unspeakably hideous multicolored plaid. Red and green and white and blue and a little yellow... just ew. But it's very large and warm and comfy.

I don't understand why shirts that are too big and belong to a male in your life are so comfy. I borrow my dad's shirts and my big brother's shirts, and last night I was in bad sorts and Kinsey forgot her dad's army jacket over here and I put it on and it smelled like a combination of Kinsey, Kinsey's dog, and cigarette smoke since he smoked when he was in the army, but it was still comforting. I don't think I'll ever understand why a huge shirt or jacket that smells like a daddy/brother/boyfriend/fatherish/brotherish figure is always so warm and nice. Just a fact of life? Anybody got any idea on that?

In other news, my desk is all zen. I moved a lamp down here and a picture and a bunch of plants and a pretty fountain and some other stuff. It looks very minimal and... zen, yes, but I said that already. I need to get one of those mini sand garden things. Nah, bad idea, then I'd spend all my time raking.

My mother installed full spectrum lights and a grow-light at her computer, so she has a regular nursery going. I'm jealous, I can only fit 3 plants on my desk, she has 9.

Anywho, back to work.

[quote]Mel said:
Today had something worty of writing down in any journal.[QUOTE]

Now that really was something that would be worthy of being written down. While today the thought of such an event would be scary, it will bring back some memories that could be just as interesting later on down the road. It could also spark some interest as to what was going on.

Mel also said:
And in a couple of hours, I have a halloween party which I am excited about, even though it is going to be outside, and it is freezing right now.

the_peridexis said after Mel:
was just thinking that Gryphon's avvie is either a skirt OR an upside-down head, with red hair and part of the forehead showing through.

Mel followed up from previous post:
Well, I'm back from the party. It sort of sucked.

When She Loved Me (from Toy Story II) stuck in my head. I have to admit that out of all the Disney songs out there (and I know a great majority of them), that is my most favorite song thus far. Reflection (from Mulan) is a close second after that.

[Dragon Writer]

Dee...*Cheers* you're still on comp! *suddenly loves all things mac* you may have to put it below sean, but i'm afraid i don't have the same restrictions. :P As for what mel said in terms of what i said...I know what you mean about the smart thing. People kept on telling me i'm a genius for the longest time, and i kept on telling them i wasn't...imagine my shcok when the school gave me some kind of iq test (Didn't tell me score) and i found out i AM a genius...at least in some stuff. Stuff like math, reading, verbal things or something like tht he said, i'm a genius. Non verbal things like memory, organization, i'm only about average, i think. basically, the only thing i'm not a genius in is the stuff you can work on increasing...He actually said just below genius, but he later told my dad in a meeting that since this was a non-specialized test incapable of measuring the full extent of my iq, this means i'm actually in the genius catagory for that stuff...Long story short, i ran into all kinds of ego problems over the next few days...it's like everything i had tried to deny was determined to prove me wrong...it was also slightly depressing. Without realizing it, people spend a lot of time trying to prove exactly how smart they are...finding out is kind of depressing...like you've got nothing left to prove....still, the whole it doesn't matter what you're iq is, just what you do with it thing still aplies, which boosts my spirits a bit since i still have something to strive for.

[Angel_Star]

I mess up just as often as the next person. Perhaps more than. However, my mistakes tend to be small...until they get huge. There are no medium, average mistakes. No sirree, I get either the little mistakes that don't really matter, or the huge ones that blow up in your face and try to take you down with them.

And now I'm here nearly in tears venting out my frustrations to the internet. Excuse my language (though I doubt you care...I probably care more than you), but this SUCKS. Extremely.

Okay...so, beginning of the day. Normal day, nothing new. However, after school, there's a Nerd Herd match, which we lose. Not horribly, but we still lose. Enough to make your day not wonderful. Then choir. I have to stay at school the entire day, making my stay at school nearly 14 hours. Not fun. Anyway, we get ready at 5:30pm and the concert starts at 7:00pm. Now, I'm not terribly bright, and I miss our practice. Our practice was somewhere around 6:30, but she NEVER TOLD US. So, apparently we were supposed to stick around the entire time...but my attention span isn't that long. So, I go with R 'cause she's eating, then I follow C upstairs (both freshmen) 'cause she's going to the room with our stuff in it. I see E in the hallway and we start talking. Unfortunately, I don't keep a close enough eye on the time, and I totally miss our practice. The choir teacher was incredibly ticked at me, and now I think I'll fail choir. I feel incredibly stupid. And now I'm gonna go to bed before I do something else that's really dumb.

[Gryphon]

The ladies just all want to charm you :P

We've been planning our Halloween costumes. We've gotta do something really good, otherwise the people will hate us stupid teens. So far, we've got BW as the xscenexxbananax costume, with a banana and the emo kid look. He already bought some really tight jeans for $6 (I wonder where he got them!), and so far, me and V just have the pants planned (and the tear drops painted down our face). We were gonna do a ying yang thing... she has the really huge, baggy pants, but a corsette on top, and I'd do fishnets and a short skirt, but overdressed shirt-type-thing, but then we realized that it might be freezing on Halloween. And now that R is coming, we've gotta come up with a new emo look for him.

I love wearing other people's clothes. I have no idea why. It could be because it's a sign that they care. Idk. Cuz you wouldn't just steal clothes from a complete stranger, would you? Like when I swap hoodies with BW or pants with R (but the pants were on a dare, so that does't count as much :P ).

*Huggles all* Even the ego bloated fools :P

[tori]

Halloween?! Omg, i forgot about it. Well i didnt. But like, it seems far away. i will be in Venzulea for Halloween and i dont think they celebrate it. I will probably be a green leperchuan. However you spell that. Not really but last year i was a idiot. Seriously, i looked so dumb. I thought i was a *p.i.m.p* Okay, this year i will be a..hm. I wanted to be a 1800's lady, but it would be wayyyyy to hottt. And, wth am i supposed to get a Maire Anntonite (whats her name again?!)
Anyways. I was ditched today. And i dont get to see my bf. Im all sad. And i want to walk up to my friends house, which is just like 5 minutes up from here, the internet place. But i will probably chicken out and run away when i get to her house. I need to build up enough courage. Sad. I know. But the problem is that yesterday she was all like "Oh yeah! You should sleep over! Im going to ask my dad!!!!" So i was all like coolio! Then today shes like "Oh, well i have to study, so yeah..."
Im so bored today. All the little people on boats have left so its just me in the harbor, and im bored to death. Because Natalie doesnt get home till 3:00, and then she has homework. And i dont get to hang out with Nick, my bf. Or Kenzo. Or Alice. Except on Sundays, or on Friday.. so like yeah. Nicks mom is like all weird, so he cant take his dinghy over to the beach where we are on school days. So im stuck. But i dont want to leave because i will miss them too dearly. Everything is so confusing. Urgh!

Anyways, i have a ton of tests on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday, all those days are test days. So i have to study. But i dont want too. But im kinda behind because im supposed to be half way done by Christmas, but im only just about 20 out 160 lessons through. And its October. And being in the Pacific i have no idea how im supposed to do school since i cant do school while we are underway. So much to think about.
Oh and i just wrote a 13 page narrative about living on our boat. I was surprised, my mom cried. My dad was amazed by the openess of what i said. Okay i dont feel liek typing cause i wanna walk up to Alice's house. Oh im nervous. I called her house today, cause she gave me her number, and i called at 2:30, thinking she will be ont he bus home, but it was her home humber so her mom answered and i was liek oh "Is Alice home" and shes like "No, but she will be in about 10 minutes" so i was like "Can i have her cell number, please?" and shes like "Are you the girl on the boat?" Im like "Yes" and shes like "Okay, let me get it." so yeah. It was interesting. And yeah.
Gryph, i wanna be a emo banana. But i would be bad at it. And it would be pretty weird for me.

[Mel]

Teen night was supposed to be fun, but...Me and my friend ended up having to babysit her sisters while her dad gave blood at our school, like ten minutes away, and we couldn't let them down into the game room 'cause it turns out it was NOT movie night, but instead game night, and all the stuff downstairs was uber expensive. So, by the time her dad came to pick the little kids up, there was only a half hour left, and everyone was just talking anyway so we left. So much for the begining night of my so-called awesome three day weekend. As much as I love the library, I don't like hanging around there for like two hours doing NOTHING!
humph!

poor tori.

Ahh, well, I think we might put up decorations, but mom's been saying that all day, so...:\

And I got my braces changed yesterday. That's not so bad, but I have to wear these ultra thick fubber (ack! Rubber!) bands all day long. I can't even open my jaw all the way with them in. It's really hard to eat..:\

Oh well. On the plus side, I stayed up until 1:30 last night finishing "The Princess Academy" which is not as stupid as it sounds, slept until 11, played games until 1:30, and my bike _finally_ got fixed. Yay!
Also, I got almost all the materials I needed for my 8th grade pumpkin thingy (Phantom, heh heh). It's gonna be awexome!~!~!~!

Well, now that I'm in a happier frame of mind, I'm going to go clear some books off the table so I can begin to decorate.

Dai, all!!

[seabiscuit1009]

Well...I started my 3 day weekend by breaking curfew and tp-ing 5 houses. (Sorry Gigo and Clonie-I'm too much of a good girl to be able to say no to doing something that bad.) We seriously used 20 rolls of tp per house, since someone took a box from the supply closet at school (we don't ever use tp in the xc locker room anyway, so it's sort of all equalling out.) I feel sort of bad, but...you know. Once in your life you really just feel the need to do something bad. And this was my bad thing for the year.

Even so, I'm horrible at tp-ing-I can't get the stuff to stay in the tree! Don't laugh at me! So I mostly just played lookout since there were a lot of police around the city last night. Even if we'd been caught, all that would have happened would be that we would have had to clean it up.

I had too much water at the cross country pasta feed...we were playing games with the water (like drinking games, only with water) to stay hydrated for tomorrow's race. I think I'll stick to playing those games with water only-they're hard enough with water, I can't imagine doing it with anything else. Gatorade is hard to play with too.

Has anyone ever seen the play A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum? I saw it last night with Latin Club, and it is so funny! I got a stomach cramp, I was laughing so much.

Hmmm...I can't decide whether or not to buy the Killers new cd...I kind of want it, but if my sister decides to buy it, I won't have to...I'll think on it. AH! BEN AND JERRY'S AD! I really want some ice cream, but I ate it all last night sadly. Well, all the good kinds anyway-I'm not a fan of Cherry Garcia, and that's the only flavor we've got left.

I think I'm going to go to sleep, soon, so I can just sleep.

[the_peridexis]

*sigh* I'm so weird! One minute I'm on top of the world, and another I feel like dirt. I think I need a break from school; I really can't handle much more. Anyone who looks at me automatically goes, "she's smart, she's shallow, and you can definently take advantage of her." I may be smart, but I'm no genius. I don't enjoy being used; why cozy up to me and then leave as soon as the homework is done? I'm not shallow, and I am incredibly happy for that. Why do people judge so quickly? I have a lot of "friends", but there are a surprising few ones I can always count on. One of those people happens to be my crush; he's a pretty cool guy. We don't just chat, we talk...about anything and everything that's bothering us, about what's hard and what's easy, about life in general.

I'm sitting here wondering what the heck I'm going to do with my life...I like design, but is that depedable? Should I follow my dreams or focus on making money to support my parents? That's a tough decision, and when I look around me, I notice how little time I have. I'm so worried about my family. My sisters and me can barely stand eachother...its not the usual sisterly rivalry, either. My oldest sister is the worst off, I think; school is hard on her, and she's always so busy. She never gives herself some slack, and because of that, whenever we speak...Idk. It's like she's so unsure, and so angry, that she just takes it out on me and my other sister. And my younger-older sister (that made no sense...) seems to be fine...except that she treats me like a baby. "Go to sleep at nine thirty.' "Leave your door open." "Don't argue with me." I hate that. I'm not a child, I can make my own judgements.

And i miss this place too...it's like, leaving here, I've left a group of friends I trust and respect. That's hard. I know, I keep ranting about this...but when I make a friend who's an awesome person, they don't leave my mind. I remember them, and that's difficult when I miss them so much. When I was a constant on chat, I could always depend on Sean for a definition. Angel was there to make laugh; Livvy was a warm heart. So many others, wjo i miss sooooooo much. I used to want a cellphone more than anything. Now? Now I want a laptop or a new computer....not because this one is slow, not because I just want my own compy, but because I want to use chat again. That's weird, and it makes me sad. After all, some of you people are bettre friends than the people in school who are using me now.

Man, can I rant.Here's a happpy highlight, though; I got a cute new sweater and a lovely skirt. I'm very happy with them, especially the sweater.

I have not been posting alot ... so I just came here to say hi and stuff.
Well any way Hello I am going to be gone nexed weekend so Olivia will be incharge of the sharkwater boards!
